live from london. this is bbc news. israel says it's still striking iran hitting more than 150 targets in the past 24 hours - including a nuclear site. iran says more than 80 people have been killed so far - mostly civilians. across israel - explosions were heard as iran launched retaliatory missiles. most of them were intercepted - some of them weren't, three people were killed and dozens injured. a day of protests is planned across the united states against donald trump, as washington prepares to host its biggest military parade in decades. king charles and the royal family have been taking part in the 'trooping the colour' parade to mark the monarch's birthday.

israel says it's continuing its attacks on iran after launching a major offensive on friday. israel says it targeted tehran's air defence capabilities and sites from which iran can fire ballistic missiles and drones at israel. iranian officials say around 80 people - most of them civilians, including children - have been killed, as well as some military commanders and nuclear scientists too. iran responded to israel's attacks with overnight strikes on israel. although israel's military says most of the missiles were intercepted, three people were reported to have been killed and dozens were hurt. as well as the main cities of tel aviv and jerusalem being targetted - there was considerable damage

to buildings in smaller towns, proving that israel's much vaunted air defence system is not foolproof. israel's defence minister israel katz has said that the iranian capital will burn if iran continues to fire retaliatory missiles. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports from jerusalem. iran's response to israel came at night, with about 200 missiles. the military worked to stop them, as millions of israelis sought shelter. siren blares the air raid sirens were still sounding in tel aviv when a missile hit. iran's intention may have been

to overwhelm israel's defences. and here, it did. a residential neighbourhood south of tel aviv caught up in this conflict. this is where the missile hit, completely destroying these houses. and there's a lot of damage all around here. and all morning emergency services have been inspecting these buildings, with residents coming to rescue whatever they can find. we have people that died here. and we have between 24 and 26 injured here at this site. this morning iran came under attack again. here, plumes of smoke rise from mehrabad airport in tehran. the israeli military released these images of what it said were strikes on iranian missiles ready to be launched. israel says it wants to damage iran's nuclear programme. but the scale of the attacks could indicate another goal - to topple the regime. for years, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has defended military action against iran. he is now going ahead with it.

the objective of israel's military operation is to remove this threat. both the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat to israel. and as we achieve our objectives, we are also clearing the path for you to achieve your objective, which is freedom. for the leadership in iran, regime survival has always been a priority. translation: they should not think that they struck and it's over. we will not allow them to escape unscathed. for iran, there are no easy options. a strong response could drag the us into a conflict and be devastating for the country. a muted reaction would be seen as weakness, and even defeat. israel seems to be making a gamble. it has suggested this is just the beginning. for the leaders in iran, this could become an existential battle.

hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. a short time ago, hugo joined us from rishon lezion which was badly impacted by iran's overnight missiles strikes. this is the scene here in rishon lezion, a city just south of tel aviv that was hit by an iranian missile in those attacks overnight. and this was likely the point of impact. and there's a lot of destruction here. all these houses have been completely destroyed, which gives you an idea of the power of the attack that happened here. and all morning. our families have been coming here to try to rescue some objects, retrieve some items from the rubble, and, you know, there's a lot of destruction all around with these cars. also, the houses here completely damaged. again, a very powerful attack that happened here. and it was a very long night of attacks with air raid sirens sounding across the country. which gives you an idea

of the power of the attack that happened here. i was in jerusalem and there were loud explosions just before dawn, with air defence systems trying to intercept those missiles that had been fired by iran. the israeli military says more than 200 missiles were fired as part of the iranian response to those large scale attacks that have been carried out by israel. now, the authorities in israel are indicating that this could be the beginning of a prolonged campaign against iran. they've been urging the public to stay alert. there's a state of emergency here, and the israeli authorities believe that more attacks with missiles, with drones are likely, as this israeli campaign against iran continues. let's speak to our world news correspondent joe inwood. israel has been targeting iran, and iran is now striking back. an ongoing situation but when it comes to the strikes by israel on what they claim are

nuclear facilities that iran has, what has israel said? one of the main areas they have targeted is south of the capital tehran, and what they have done, they have been hitting it with some of their more heavy ordinance, the penetrative missiles, and we can show the audience images. these were 3d images released by the israeli military shown the site of the attacks, and they are trying to demonstrate where they have been striking. they say they have done significant damage in they say this is an enrichment oil several floors and infrastructure -- enrichment of. although these are underground facilities, they are not that deep underground. but these are the ones they have been going for so far. these are not that deep underground because some of the facilities are very deep. and those other facilities that

israel argument does have the hard work to target? -- are the facilities. that is the problem and this is the flaw in the strategy, some of the facilities are 80 metres underground. what we saw just then was about ten metres underground, roughly, and we have a couple of others that are supposed to be 80 metres, even 100 metres under the surface of the earth, with huge amounts of reinforced concrete. there are very few weapons, maybe just one, the gbu 57 b, the massive ordinance penetrative bomb, that can destroy something maybe 60 metres underground, but only the us have these and they are only launched from the two stealth bombers and the israelis do not have this capability, so they have a dilemma, a technical challenge, of how they can destroy these

facilities because at the moment experts say they do not have the capabilities. the us are not offering those up? as far as we are aware, the americans are not involved in these strikes, and that could change, but for now the israelis are doing this on their own. they do have some missiles, air launched ballistic missiles, that have the ability to penetrate the earth to some extent, there are two, they can target something maybe six metres deep. if you have an 80 metre level of concrete, if you are doing six metres at a time, you cannot penetrate the earth that much. that is a problem. even if the israelis did have the time available to them to use these smaller munitions, 4000 lbs bombs, they just don't have the stocks to get down that far. so

by signalling these attacks for as many years as he has, netanyahu has talked about this over many years, and that is why the iranians have at the time to build these underground facilities. they are underground facilities which the israelis do not have the capacity to destroy, it appears. thanks for joining us. we are continuing to monitor the situation when it comes to the strikes between israel and iran. now to the us. let's bring you some breaking news: a politician in the us state of minnesota has been killed and another has been injured after they were both shot in their separate homes. state representative melissa hortman and her husband have been killed, while state

senator john hoffman and his wife are recovering after surgery. police are searching for the suspect - who escaped after a shootout with officers. minnesota governor, tim walz, said it was an act of political violence. we're here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in minnesota. my good friend and colleague, speaker melissa hortman, and her husband, mark, were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination. our state lost a great leader and i lost the dearest of friends. speaker hortman was someone who served the people of minnesota with grace, compassion, humour and a sense of service. she was a formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in minnesota. she woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. she is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many minnesotans. our thoughts and prayers are with her family, her loved ones, her children and her parents.

my prayers also go out to state senator john hoffman and his wife yvette, who were each shot multiple times. the hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and receiving care, and we are cautiously optimistic, they will survive this assassination attempt. this was an act of targeted political violence. peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy. we don't settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint. in the state of minnesota, and as recently as last week, in the most closely divided state legislature in the country, we sat down, we worked things out, we debated, we shook hands and compromised, and we served the state of minnesota together. we proved that it's possible, even in these politically charged times, to find compromise and adhere to the principles of democracy and civil discourse.

we must all, minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence. the breaking news that a us politician, melissa hortman, and her husband, have been killed. in a separate shooting, senator john hoffman and his wife are recovering. a suspect escaped after a shoot-out with police officers. we will be following that breaking story from minnesota. india's government says it will look into all possible theories of what could have caused thursday's air india plane crash. hospital officials in ahmedabad say at least 270 bodies have been recovered from the scene after the london-bound plane crashed into a medical college hostel shortly after take off. arunoday mukharji is in ahmedabad with the latest.

well, i'm just outside that medical hostel, as you mentioned. you can see the buildings completely charred, despite the fact that the plane fell just a few metres away from those buildings. but just look at the impact - that gives you a sense of what must have happened here. we've seen a lot of activity with investigators, with specialities coming in to find crucial pieces of evidence which could help them in the investigations forward. we've also seen a lot of excavators through the day. in fact, one of them was also involved in helping remove that massive tail, the rear part of the aircraft, which had been wedged lodged on top of the building once the aircraft struck. we've all seen those pictures, very, very dramatic and astonishing pictures, which really gave us a sense of scale, the scale of this entire incident. very, very tragic pictures there, of course, but now been recovered. we've also been hearing from the indian civil aviation minister, who's been pointing out how they've set up a multiple committees, who have been given a three month deadline to come up with their findings. they're on track, given the fact that they have recovered the black box, they say, which will help them figure out

what really happened moments before the crash. in fact, they're also carrying out an investigation with the existing boeing 787 fleet as well. here's what the civil aviation minister had to say on that. so from the dgca, we have also given an order to do the extended surveillance for the 787 planes. there are 34 in our indian aircraft fleet today. i believe that eight have already been inspected. with immediate urgency, all of them are going to be done. air india said that they are carrying out these investigations themselves, and the aircraft, after being checked, can only then go ahead and carry out their next flight operations. so they have also warned and cautioned passengers that these checks could also result in some delays or disruptions, because of which they will be communicating that to

the passengers in advance. now it's time for a look at today's sport. south africa have won the world test championship beating australia by five wickets in the final at lord's. the proteas started day 4 needing 69 runs to claim the mace given to the winning team, in order to secure a first title since the 1998 champions trophy. in a match dominated by bowling on the first two days, it was aidan markram who claimed player of the match for his sublime and controlled 136 in south africa's chase of 282. his partnership of 147 with skipper temba bevuma proving vital in the end. as a team, we have been wanting this. we have been knocking at the door, being relentless,

getting ourselves into positions where we compete in finals, we have gone through the heartache and disappointment, saying it with past players who have gone before, but the sunshine is on us at the moment, the responsibility, we have been carrying it and hopefully this is one of many. they showed why they are in this final and they are deserving champions. all facets over the four days they kept themselves in the game and when they got a sniff they took a few wickets and they were fantastic so congratulations to them and all their staff. to rugby union where the crusaders and the chiefs will contest the super rugby pacific final next saturday after victories over the blues and the brumbies respectively. meanwhile in england - premiership rugby's final is underway at twickenham where last year's beaten finalists bath are hoping to go one better this year and claim a first title since 1996. they're facing leicester

tigers, champions from three years ago. at the moment, the bath lead 13-7. taylor fritz is through to the final of the stuttgart open after beating canada's felix auger-aliassime. the second seed had too much for his north american rival, winning in straight sets 6-4, 7-6. fritz is through to his first final in stuttgart where he will face top seed alexander zverev after he saw off ben shelton 7-6, 7-6. emma raducanu will miss the berlin open with a back issue she suffered prior to the french open. raducanu was knocked out of queen's in the quarter-finals by zheng qinwen who is on court in her semi-final against amanda anisimova. the american took the opening set 6-2. the winner will face germany's tatiana maria in sunday's final after she beat second seed madison keys in straight sets 6-3, 7-6. to the nba finals where the oklahoma city thunder fought back from a 10-point

deficit to tie their best of seven game series with indiana pacers at 2-2. having won game three back on home court, the pacers were hoping to move one win closer to a first ever nba championship. indiana star tyrese haliburton scored 17 points at one point they opened up that double-digit lead. but oklahoma city rallied in the third and fourth quarters, led by nba most valuable player shay gilgeous-alexander. the thunder star scored 15 of his 35 points in the final four and a half minutes as the thunder won 111-104. winning at this time of the season, it comes down to the moments, it is going to come down to late game, because every team is good. it comes down to the moment and who is willing to make plays at both ends of

the floor, i relish those moments, i love the moments, good or bad. to golf where play is underway in the third round of the us open at oakmont. the leaders won't be out for another four hours. of the 156 players who began the tournament on thursday, just three are under par after two rounds. one of them is viktor hovland who benefitted from this eagle on the 10th. he's a shot behind jj spaun who at one stage was four under but ended the day two under par to sit one shot back from halfway leader sam burns who shot a brilliant 65 to finish three under. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. towns and cities across the united states are bracing for protests by opponents of president trump timed to coincide with a huge military parade in the capital. this is the scene as crowds

gather in atlanta, georgia - there are other planned across the state. republican governors in texas and missouri have deployed the national guard - others have them on standby. rally organisers say it's a "national day of defiance" against attacks on civil rights. the washington parade marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the us army. it's taking place on president trump's birthday. it will be one of the biggest displays of american military might in washington in decades. here in london, the annual trooping the colour ceremony

to mark king charles' birthday has taken place, with more than 1,000 troops taking part. our royal correspondent sarah campbell was in central london. trooping the colour, the annual celebration of military pomp and pageantry is finished. the crowds are dispersing, the fly-past has happened and i'm here with robert hardman from the daily mail. royal biographer. it feels very different to last year when the king had just been diagnosed with cancer. catherine, princess of wales this was her first appearance after her diagnosis. but this year felt different. this year felt like a return to the birthday parades of old. there wasn't that sort of sense of fingers crossed. "hope it's going to be ok."

it felt a very confident day. i mean, i think everybody was just glad to see the royal family enjoying it. you know, there was no sort of sense of surprise that they were here. we were expecting them here. and so it was. yeah, it was a reset, if you like to, to, um, to the sort of parades that we've seen over many, many years. and all the senior working members of the royal family were here, including, we always hope that they will be and they are a regular fixture now. the wales children, prince george, louis and charlotte. yeah, i think the king remembers as he was a little boy when he first came to this parade. it's something that will be part of their lives. and so we always hope to see them here. it's never confirmed till the last minute. but yes, essentially it's a day for the for those members of the family who do the regular engagements, what they call the working members. but it is a family day. and so it's important the younger generation are here too. and everybody loves to see george, charlotte and louis. much of it was as it always is every year. but at the king's request, there was a reflection

of the events in india two days ago. there is always a consciousness that this is a national day, but it's got to, you know, take on board important moments. and obviously the tragic events of air india flight 171. just an appalling event that's really hit home right across the commonwealth. so the king decided that a there should be a minute's silence in the middle of parade to honour that, but also that those members of the family uniform will wear a black armband as well. so that was done and it was a reminder this has happened before. we had some years ago when this event coincided with the terrible tragedy of the grenfell tower fire. on that occasion, the late queen decided, yes, this, this parade should honour that moment as well. let's talk about the fly-past, always spectacular, particularly on a sunny blue sky day like this, and a particularly interesting sustainable element to it this year. yes, it was, i thought, particularly telling that for the first time ever, we had a fly-past featuring two forms of sustainable fuel. the red arrows at the end. not only are they flying using sustainable fuel, but their famous vapour trails,

probably the most famous part of this fly-past, the red, white and blue smoke that comes at the end that was environmentally sourced, environmentally friendly as well. so it's the sort of thing, it's these little touches that the king is very keen to introduce them. he will have been especially pleased about that. why do these events matter? why are they important? well, we see the crowds here today. some people come every year. but i think at a time, particularly when in times of great uncertainty, times when people are just feeling it's a strange, turbulent and rather dangerous world out there. these are the moments, actually, that offer a bit of reassurance. they're timeless. and they sort of speak to a sort of a deeper sense of constancy that whatever happens in the world, you know, there's still the trooping the colour, there's still the birthday parade, and there's still the royal family on the balcony. some things never change. robert hardman, always good to talk to you. and i can say that this is a global event. we have been surrounded by broadcasters from france, from italy, from germany

all morning, all broadcasting the ceremony live as well. so lots of interest, not just here in the uk,
